Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9106927A1] A disc-type coin sorter has a rotatable disc with a resilient top surface and a stationary sorting head positioned above the disc with the lowermost surface of the sorting head only slightly spaced from the resilient top surface of the disc. The sorting head has coin queuing means (20) for arranging coins of mixed denominations in a single row and a single layer with selected edges of the coins aligned at a common layer with selected edges of the coins aligned at a common radial position. A first guide surface (22) engages selected edges of the aligned coins and progressively moves the engaged coins radially as the coins move circumferentially along the first guide surface. A plurality of elongated second guide surfaces (23a-23f) spaced radially from, and facing toward, the first guide surface force coins of selected denominations past the first guide surface (22) at selected circumferential locations.
